Wise Owl

First up I created a colourful cluster of flowers, that were coloured with Copics and then given a coating of Wink of Stella brush glitter pen.

Next I made a fun bookmark for my son, once again colouring with Copics. The apple is coated in Glossy Accents.I heart books | Marion Vagg

And finally I water coloured the Wise Owl with Distress ink and made a tag. On the back it says “This book belongs to…” I couldn’t resist the googly eyes.Wise Owl | Marion Vagg

Watercolour and Woodgrain @ Muse

Hello. It is my turn this week at the Muse Card Club.

I have been playing around with some watercolours – and feeling like a real painter, which I am far from mind you! I think the finished focal point looks like a tile. I struggled with the placement of the sentiment, so I left it off.

Thinking of You – His and Hers

Good morning,

I am currently taking the latest Online Card Class – His and Hers. I was lucky enough to win a spot 🙂

HH_participant

This is my Day 1 Homework. I have made a His and Her card, both using the same sketch and both using the masking technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her Day 1 video. I had fun playing with my new Jane’s Doodle Stamp set called Doodle Flowers to create these single layer cards. Both of these cards use the set. For the His card, I used one of the leaf stamps and created a background. Does it work as a masculine card?

Thinking of You - Her card

Your're in my Thoughts - His card

Supplies

Stamps: Jane’s Doodles stamp set – Doodle Flowers, Hero Arts Live and Laugh Stamp set, (Her Flower card uses a Kaisercraft rub-on as the sentiment)

Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: Hero Arts Snow folded notecards

Other Supplies: WPlus9 Rounded Rectangles clear cut stackers die, Cuttlebug, Copic Markers, White Uniball signo gel pen, Ranger enamel accents – white

Class cards

Just thought I would share some more cards that I made for the CAS class. This first one I made on the very first day of class but never posted it! It is another interpretation of Kristina sketch from Day 1.

I made a mask and then did some sponging to create the cloudy sky. The bunting is coloured in with Copics and then covered with Glossy Accents.

And finally this is a set of cards that I made before Christmas as a gift set for my son’s preschool teacher. Even though it was made before the class, it fits into the CAS card sets as shown by Julie on Day 10. I LOVE card sets and make a lot of them. They make the perfect home made gift. It is a simplified version of this card that I made for the Summer Card Boot Camp.

They are all coloured with Copics and the bee and flower centres are covered with Glossy Accents – of course! I made 2 of each colour combo.

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Kiss From the Sun stamp set (CL439), Hero Arts All Occasion Messages (CL272), AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers stamp set (for the sting)
Ink:  VersaFine ink – Onyx Black, Distress Ink – Tumbled Glass
